Omega Lady-Constellation 25mm 1998 Watch

Q: What is the Omega Lady‑Constellation 25mm (1998)?
A: It’s a vintage, Swiss‑made ladies’ watch in stainless steel with a petite 25mm case, dark grey dial, silver‑tone hands, and a fixed bezel engraved with Roman numerals. This piece is reference 795.1201, produced in 1998, and carries serial number 57865411.

Q: Which movement does it use and how long will the battery last?
A: Late‑1990s Lady‑Constellation models in this size commonly feature a reliable Swiss quartz movement. Typical battery life is around 2–3 years depending on use and storage. We’re happy to confirm the exact calibre and battery type for this specific watch on request.

Q: How do I set the time on this quartz watch?
A: Gently pull the crown out to the time‑setting position and turn the hands to the correct time. Push the crown back in firmly to ensure proper operation. This 25mm configuration is typically time‑only (no date), so there’s no date‑setting step.

Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I wear it in the rain or swim with it?
A: As a vintage piece, water resistance cannot be guaranteed without recent servicing and pressure testing. Treat it as splash‑resistant at best and avoid swimming, showering or submersion. If light moisture resistance is desired, have the gaskets inspected and replaced by an authorised watchmaker and keep the crown fully pushed in.

Q: What type of crystal does it have?
A: Many Constellation models from this era are fitted with scratch‑resistant sapphire crystals. We can confirm the crystal type on this exact watch for you—just contact us and we’ll verify.

Q: Will it fit my wrist, and can the bracelet be resized?
A: This watch fits a wrist of approximately 16cm or smaller as listed. Sizing is typically done by adding or removing links. Adding length requires sourcing compatible genuine Omega links (subject to availability). Share your wrist measurement and we’ll advise options.

Q: How does the 25mm size wear and who is it suited for?
A: The 25mm case offers a refined, jewellery‑like presence ideal for smaller wrists and anyone who prefers a discreet, elegant vintage profile. It’s perfect for dressy and everyday smart wear.

Q: What is the condition and can the scratches be improved?
A: This piece is graded Very Good, with light scratches on the case, bezel, case back and bracelet—typical of careful vintage wear. A specialist can perform light refinishing if desired, but we generally recommend preserving original finishes on collectible pieces.

Q: How should I care for the stainless‑steel bezel and bracelet?
A: Wipe surfaces with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, polishes, solvents, perfumes and lotions. Store away from humidity and extreme temperatures. For deeper cleaning or refinishing, use an authorised watchmaker familiar with Omega finishes.
